No BootManager upon restore: ATI 2009 (9796) + Win 7 x64 RTM

Thread needs solution

My Rig:

640GB HDD - OS on first partition - OS Partition size 180GB
Win 7 x64 RTM
ATI 2009 Build 9796

I made a full backup of my OS partition of Win 7 x64 RTM. Prior to restoring my ATI image, I first use Acronis Disk Director to delete, zero out, create new, and format the OS partition. Then I proceed to restore my image.

I also deleted the 100MB partition created by Win 7, which I did not create another 100MB partition, since I figured it was only needed for installation.

After the image was restored, I rebooted and received a boot error that there was no boot manager. To fix this problem, I rebooted with my Windows 7 disc and used it's system repair utility to fix my boot manager, which it sucessfully repaired, and my image then booted properly.

My question is, how do I properly make a full backup that re-installs my boot manger so I dont have to use Win7 system repair?

Thanks for any advice.
